In 2018, Tracy Young and her co-founders sold PlanGrid for $875 million. By 2021, she was ready to jump back in and do it all over again with a brand new startup: TigerEye.

I recently sat down with Tracy to find out more about her, what drives her, and some of what she has learned along the way. We talked about:

• What sparked the idea for TigerEye
   
• The YC interview that inspired her to focus on enterprise software
   
• Why she and her co-founder spent months “dissecting the past” before starting another company, and what they’re doing differently this time.
   
• The hard parts of joining a big company following an acquisition, her advice for new founders going through YC, and more!
